YOU are helping to pave the way for truly inclusive schools.

I invite you to have fun imagining this summer. Try one of the eight ideas on for size...

1.Envision a world where school staff actively seek your input and utilize your ideas for your child's benefit...

2.Picture the transformation when there's no more "us against them" mentality during IEP meetings...

3.Imagine an IEP meeting guided by the Least Dangerous Assumption, ensuring the best outcomes for your child...

4.Consider the endless possibilities for your child as they learn alongside their friends in inclusive general education classrooms...

5.What if Universal Design for Learning is not just a concept, but a fully implemented framework in your child's school?
